Lessons Available for the Classroom

The Postal History Foundation caters to the needs of your classroom. Lessons and PowerPoints can be used in your classroom or you can enhance your teaching units with stamps. Students are given stamps for each lesson and can also receive the popular beginning stamp albums. Teachers and students can request stamps to add to the albums throughout the school year. The additional stamps can coincide with the curriculum taught during the year.

Think of a topic – there is probably a stamp for it!

Teachers may create their own lessons and the PHF can provide the stamps. The Arizona Album is another option for 4th Grade teachers besides our Symbols of Arizona worksheet. Click on that button on the youth main menu. All worksheets and PowerPoints may not be altered as they are the property of the PHF. The stamps provided may not be sold. PHF is a non-profit 501(c)( 3) foundation. Any donations that can help us continue to provide this educational service would be appreciated and are tax deductible. Please consider sending a tax deductible donation to offset shipping and the time it takes to create and provide these materials to you for classroom use.
